“Well…” Lemon rubbed his nose. His boss’ schedule had never been up to him.
However, he felt that Miss Joey’s attitude was strange. When she mentioned Boss, her eyes shone with a green light like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
“I don’t know either.”
Kang Sinuo wasn’t too disappointed. The harder it was to get something, the more she wanted to conquer it. Not to mention, she liked that there were so many challenges. The harder it was, the better. She pushed a business card toward him. “I’ll have to trouble you with this. If your boss needs anything, you can contact me. I’ll be sure to thank you properly.”
“Oh.” Lemon scratched his head. After Kang Sinuo left, he called Sheng Yang about it.
“You’re thinking too much,” Sheng Yang said expressionlessly. Although academicians were a little eccentric, they were still relatively focused. She felt that this Joey person probably just wanted to talk to her about academic issues. That was why she was so eager. She was good enough to be in the top three of this batch of researchers. Because of that, she was happy to teach them. Otherwise, she didn’t think it was worth teaching others.
“No!” Lemon was anxious. “Boss, I’ve never been in a serious relationship, but I’ve seen others in a relationship.”
“Got it,” Sheng Yang said calmly. “Well, I have a boyfriend.”
“…”
Lemon mourned for that man in private. He felt that his boss didn’t seem to be serious about dating him. Instead, she seemed to be using him as a shield.
**
Speak of the devil.
As soon as Sheng Yang hung up the call with Lemon, she received a WeChat message from Joey. It was a cryptic question.
[President, do you know what the center of the universe is?]
Sheng Yang frowned. Although this had nothing to do with their discussion topic, she always had a strong desire in the face of scientific questions. She replied methodically: [There are a lot of theories in astronomy. Roughly speaking, I think the center of the universe is the sun.]
After a moment, Joey replied: [No.]
It was followed by a shy emoji.
Sheng Yang raised her eyebrows. She didn’t reply, but she was alert to the question. If the center of the universe wasn’t the sun, could it be the earth? But the heliocentric mind said it was impossible. This Joey was an intellectual. It was impossible for her not to know.
Sheng Yang didn’t bother to forward the message. It was too troublesome, so she took a screenshot and sent it to Yi Juncheng. Perhaps he would know.
Yi Juncheng was sitting lazily on the balcony reading a book. He liked Yangyang, and Yangyang liked books, so he had to like books too.
If he didn’t work hard, he would be eliminated!
Out of the blue, he saw his phone light up. He picked it up, and his eyes lit up when he saw who it was.
—Little Girl.
At that moment, his beautiful face seemed to glow with a soft light.
He gently rubbed his fingers together twice before opening the message. When he saw the contents, he instantly sat up in the reclining chair with a straight back. He looked completely serious.
“Yangyang, who sent you this?”
Realizing that Yi Juncheng’s tone was off, Sheng Yang was confused. “What’s wrong?”
“Answer me first.” His tone grew more urgent.
“Just a researcher in my company.”
Yi Juncheng had long known that Sheng Yang was the boss behind Shengrui. The secrets they kept from each other were getting fewer and fewer, but it wasn’t Sheng Yang who told him. He had guessed it.
Both of them were particularly powerful. They were very scheming when hiding their identities, but they enjoyed the feeling of guessing each other’s identities. They treated this as a game between lovers.
